PHRE Residency w/ Sandy Chamoun x Anthony Shayoun x Simon Popp x Dumama

[DE] What happens when four musicians who have never played together before meet? Four people from different social realities.

Sandy Chamoun and Anthony Sayhoun (Lebanon), Dumama (South Africa) and Simon Popp (Munich) meet in the PHRE residency: four artistic positions between composition, poetry, sound art, performance, jazz drums, loop machines and electronic effects.

Influenced by the current crises in Lebanon to post-colonial and diasporic perspectives in South Africa, they bring their respective backgrounds into a joint working process.
Over several days, a collective sound emerges from improvisation, listening and exchange. The performance becomes a snapshot of this encounter: raw, immediate and unrepeatable.

[What happens when four musicians who have never played together before meet for the very first time? Four individuals coming from entirely different social realities.

In the PHRE Residency, Sandy Chamoun and Anthony Sahyoun (Lebanon), Dumama (South Africa), and Simon Popp (Munich) collide: four artistic positions spanning composition, poetry, sound art, performance, jazz drumming, loop stations, and electronic effects.

Influenced by the ongoing crises in Lebanon to post-colonial and diasporic perspectives in South Africa, they weave their unique backgrounds into a collaborative creative process. Over several days of improvisation, listening, and exchange, a collective sound emerges. The performance becomes a snapshot of this encounter: raw, immediate, and unrepeatable.

Carl Gari (Germany)

[DE] Between guitars and electronic sounds, the trio acts as an inseparable creative unit that strives to develop its own distortion of reality. Beyond genre conventions, Carl Gari focus on aesthetics, moods and states of tension, developing sound as a physical and psychological space.
